Songs recorded so far include 'Love This Dirty Town', 'One More For The Road', 'Mona Lisa Smiled', 'Take A Look At Yourself', '(She's Got The) Dirt On Me', 'Blackwater', 'Late Nite Saturday Call', 'Fear Within The Lie', plus more to be recorded. Watch for an upcoming video clip.
"Spike [vocals], Griff [Guy Griffin, guitar] and Paul [Guerin, guitar] will be appearing on the celebrity panel of 'Harvey Live' which will air after 'Harvey Goldsmith Presents' on E4 on the 27th March. It will also air on a later date on Channel 4."
